Among the hustle and bustle of player arrivals and departures at Chelsea, one player yet to bid farewell to the club for the second and possibly the last time is Romelu Lukaku.
An outcast ever since completing his first season of his second Chelsea stint, the Belgian has been touted to leave Chelsea for good this summer after two decent year-long loan spells in Italy.
And we have fresh reports as to how things stand on that end.
As reported recently by Italian outlet Sport Mediaset, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis is keen on bringing Romelu Lukaku to the Stadio Maradona before Napoli kick off their Serie A campaign next week.
As things stand, Napoli are willing to offer Chelsea €25 million plus bonuses, but the Premier League side want a package amounting closer to €40 million.
Any agreement involving Victor Osimhen, be it a swap or loan, is out of the question at the time of writing.
Napoli kick off their Serie A campaign next weekend against Hellas Verona.
The two parties remain €15 million apart in their valuation of the Belgium international. There’s one week left for the Serie A to kick off.
The best thing the two sides can do is meet each other halfway, though Napoli may have to move a little further than Chelsea, given Lukaku has a good track record for every year he has played in Italy.
Expect a deal in the region of €30 million to be announced shortly.
